NP Rank:
World's First James Bond Museum to Open in UK Saturday
Surely if there were any dashing, super-spy deserving of their own museum it would be the infamous agent 007.
With that spirit in mind, the world's first James Bond museum is set to open this Saturday in Cumbria, England.
The Bond Museum will include favourite spy vehicles, including a tank, from the films — as well as the original golden gun from The Man With the Golden Gun.
What other Bond-ified artifacts deserve to be enshrined in these hallowed halls? Post your thoughts below.
Housed in a former supermarket in Cumbria, The Bond Museum was established by Peter Nelson, a 48-year-old Bond prop collector and auto museum curator.
The museum's initial collection will include the convertible Triumph Stag from Diamonds Are Forever, the Lotus Esprit Turbo (right) from The Spy Who Love Me (not the submarine version), a Russian T55 battle tank from GoldenEye and the original Colibri gun from The Man With the Golden Gun.

First of all, they need the submarine version. Period.
Also I'd add Irma Bunt's stiletto-shoe and Odd Job's hat.

I would not have put money into it, but it is an icon and long lived success in movie genre even though sexist and against all modern values it has known great success and support from both sexes and this should be a wake up call to all that humanity is still stuck and ruled by the small brain and not as we like to make our self's believe by reason and objectivity.
